rubio must think is, you know, that movie, "men in black"? there have been three "men in black" movies, and i think one of the coolest things about that movie that most people remember is that little device that erases people's memories. well, i think that paul ryan and marco rubio must believe that all americans have had that device used on them. because during the campaign, and even before that, paul ryan was the author of the romney/ryan budget, which increased taxes on the middle class to pay for $250,000 in tax breaks for the average person making more than $1 million. marco rubio went to 70 different cities in support of mitt romney and paul ryan's candidacy for president and vice president of the united states. he embraced the romney/ryan budget, repeatedly. he cast votes for it. he has embraced ending medicare as we know it. he has a record, they both do, of doing everything they could to ensure that the wealthiest, most fortunate americans have the wind at their backs and can do even better, and have done nothing to help the middle c

i think when you listen to both ryan and rubio today, this isn't like st. paul getting blinded by a new truth. these guys are practical politicians who saw the damage the 47% did and are changing their rhetoric. most of those speeches were standard conservatism. i think the fact they change the rhetoric is a really big deal. since ronald reagan it's been liberals that adjusted to conservative ideas. the beginning of that was bill clinton saying the era of big government is over. i think this is the first time in three decades where conservatives have been pushed or forced by the reality of politics and an election results to aadjust their ideas to the other side's ideas. they're running away from the idea that the only people who matter are those rich job creators, and they're running away from the idea that they can always just trash government. both of them spoke of the essential role of government. i think this is more important than it looks if you only write it off as rhetoric. >> i absolutely agree. i think it that point it's always been working the o
